Three weeks today
These past three weeks have not been the hardest for me. Though I know the urges and desires and temptation is coming, I've just known these past 21 days that I can't drink anymore. I feel more excited about being a solid, reliable man of integrity than I feel sad or angry about but getting wasted.
Not naive enough to think there won't be struggles ahead but I do feel calm contentment with where I am today.
Thank you to SR always.
No one is coming to save me.

Congrats on 3 weeks! That is so great!!!!
I am 5 months in and I have not had 1 single urge to pick up a drink. There has been no struggle, not with drinking.... Life happens, I am just better able to deal with it
I hope you don't struggle and I hope the urge doesn't come for you But, if it does, you have added so much in your toolbox, I truly believe you would utilize it Best wishes,

Lessgravity keep on that train mate.
What you’re doing is admirable.
It does get a bit trixy from time to time.
But with support and making logical decisions you will walk away feeling like the luckiest man on earth.
You have a royal flush, don’t fold on it.
Take care

Thanks Dee. I was in court for work and may have clicked twice ha.
Thank you to everyone who posted on this thread - really made my day to come back and see everyone respond. This site is truly amazing.
Had some funny pangs today as I walked home through my city from a very stressful but successful day. They were funny urges/memories to me in that I could identify with their intent - "ooooh remember you used to go get a half pint and put it away walking down the side street before you got home, wasn't that a great feeling!" - but they felt separate from me. I could see them objectively. In a way I knew they were my own thoughts, but I knew I wasn't going to drink so they felt separate. I barely owned those thoughts. And they certainly did not own me.
If that makes any sense!
Anyhow feels so good to be sober again tonight and know I can wake up early tomorrow and hit the gym etc.
Thank you all again.
